Very clean and good environment. All staff are helpful and you really don’t need to leave the resort unless you really want to, improvements could be made on the day pass visitors having the ability to to take seats at the pool from those staying at the resort.

On the beach and pool was nice. Staff was ok at best. Drinks and even waters were extremely pricey for the type of “resort” it was. If you want beach and big hotel pool, it’s for you. If you’re expecting an actual resort keep looking.

The Island Resort was a great place to land during our stay in Florida. The resort itself is older and smaller, but you cannot beat the pool and access to the beach! We loved having great food options available so close and the heated pool was where we landed on most days. It was very family oriented and had fun community gatherings on the patio between the resort and the beach. We loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the live music, all while enjoying the ocean view! We traveled with our 6 and 8 year old children and would definitely visit again!

This was my second time staying there and it great again. The staff, everyone from the person who checks you in at the front to the restaurant staff to the people who clean the rooms, were always nice. And no matter how much sand we managed to bring back to our room, it was spotless every time they came to clean it. Will definitely stay again.

Everything was amazing except for the pool area. It needs more seating and better towels, the towels were very wore out and ruff on you skin. But the pool itself was very nice. You had to get to the pool very early to get a seat. The resort was outdated, but very clean and friendly. Shops and restaurants were walkable distances. The outdoor area was so relaxing, had lots of different areas to sit and relax. I will be going back.
